To date, the Professional Standards program has received 2,375 submissions wi th 90 percent of those being resolved. That's 2 , 136 issues that NATCA was able to resolve the issue at the lowest level, peer to peer, without management involvement in the outcome. Approximately 70% of those cases are submitted by management, demonstrating the FAA's belief that the peer - to - peer method use d by the program is working. The recidivism rate is very low, indicating that the one on one discussion between committee members and controllers has a long - lasting, positive effect on the safety of the system and the professionalism of our controllers. I f you have any questions about the Professional Standards Program, please don't hesitate to contact any of the NATCA National Professional Standards committee members at ps@natca.net .
